I am a visual effects artist and supervisor at Industrial Light & Magic, a division of Lucasfilm, in San Francisco, California. My past projects include the feature films THE AVENGERS, AVATAR, both J.J. Abrams' STAR TREK films, three TRANSFORMERS films, and six STAR WARS films including THE FORCE AWAKENS and ROGUE ONE.

Banned From The Ranch

While working with visual effects house Banned From The Ranch, I served as 2D Supervisor and Lead Digital Artist. Under the direction of VFX supervisor Van Ling, we created effects for INSPECTOR GADGET, DR. DOLITTLE and much more. I moved on to Flat Earth Productions--for VFX Supervisor Doug Beswick, I was a compositor for the fifth season "Xena: Warrior Princess," and lead feature film compositor. At Pixel Magic, I was compositing supervisor for Renny Harlin's DRIVEN and the Bruce Willis film, HART'S WAR.

Recent highlights: For TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON, I was compositing sequence supervisor on the Chicago sequences, including the skyscraper collapse. For Brad Bird's MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - GHOST PROTOCOL, I served as compositing supervisor under visual effects supervisor John Knoll. I was sequence supervisor for both J.J. Abrams' STAR TREK films, as well as THE FORCE AWAKENS, AVATAR and ROGUE ONE.

I share a VES Award for Outstanding Compositing for our work on TRANSFORMERS, and was also nominated for a VES Award for our compositing work on AVATAR as well as for IRON MAN 2 and ROGUE ONE for our digital character work for Princess Leia.

In addition to my visual effects work, I also have produced computer graphics for on-set playback. For Universal's AMERICAN PIE, I supervised and created graphics for all the streaming video and computer sequences. I produced graphics for Paul Verhoeven's new film, HOLLOW MAN, and supervised the on-screen graphics for the Jennifer Lopez video, "If You Had My Love," directed by Paul Hunter.

One of the major projects I've tackled over the years is VFX HQ: Visual Effects Headquarters, a web site I developed and produced between 1995 and 1999.

The VFX HQ is the home for news and information on the feature film visual effects industry, and contains hundreds of pages of reviews, commentary and information on Hollywood's biggest special effects films and producers.
